Russian judoka Madina Taimazova admitted that she was not satisfied with winning the silver medal at the European Championships in Montpellier (France).
In the final on Saturday, the 24-year-old athlete, competing in the weight category up to 70 kg, lost to Frenchwoman Marie-Ève Gaye, who mastered an ippon technique.
“For me, money means I still have to work.” I’m not happy with the money. Apparently, you need to complete all the stages: bronze, silver and, finally, achieve the long-awaited gold.
In principle, everything was fine. She is precisely a fighter who goes into battle. It was possible to abandon it, to build a tactically different plan. I just made mistakes and was a little distracted by the audience, who were very supportive. I fell in the first seconds, and I was a little in trouble, I couldn’t pull myself together,” Taymazova said on the air of the show “Everyone for the match!” the channel.
Russians participate in competitions in France as neutral athletes.
